The New York Jets saved their season — for now — by winning 21-13 against the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football in Week 9.


Game Summary

According to PFF's noise-canceled score metric, the New York Jets did enough to score six more points than they actually did, which makes a lot of sense if we consider that an open running lane 2 inches before the goal line usually results in a touchdown.

All things considered, both teams struggled to move the ball with three downs, but the Jets were slightly better on early downs.
